Roberto Firmino makes the starting lineup for Liverpool's Premier League clash with Watford at Anfield, with Fabinho and Sadio Mane on the bench.

Roberto Firmino has been named in the starting lineup for Liverpool's Premier League clash with Watford at Anfield, with Fabinho and Sadio Mane on the bench.

The ex-Hoffenheim man did not link up with the Brazil squad for the latest round of fixtures and joins Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota in the final third, as Mane takes his place among the substitutes with Luis Diaz.

Fabinho was another late return from South America, as Jordan Henderson, Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones make up the midfield. Naby Keita misses out due to the injury that he picked up on international duty.

Despite Jurgen Klopp initially claiming that Trent Alexander-Arnold would be out for "weeks" with a hamstring problem, the Englishman has been passed fit to make the bench as Joe Gomez continues at right-back.

Andy Robertson shook off a scare on international duty and has taken his place at the back alongside Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk, with Liverpool aiming to go top of the table for at least a couple of hours.

Liverpool starting lineup: Alisson; Gomez, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Henderson, Thiago; Salah, Firmino, Jota

Substitutes: Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Tsimikas, Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Fabinho, Mane, Diaz
